Now You Can Sit Next to Kim Kardashian at Givenchy's New York Fashion Week Show

Back in June, Riccardo Tisci announced that he would be delivering a whopper of a spring 2016 fashion week show this season and, conveniently, he'd be doing it in New York instead of his usual Paris spot. The show will be "very interesting," according to Tisci, who enlisted performance artist Marina Abramović to help direct. And just to up that interesting ante, he's inviting all of us to partake.

According to WWD, Tisci is opening his FW doors to 1,200 "real people" (a.k.a civilians who aren't aliens, imaginary friends, or celebs) and fashion students, who will attend alongside the usual famous fans like Kim Kardashian West, Katy Perry, and Amanda Seyfried. WWD reports that Givenchy is working with the City of New York on this mission, and tickets, which will be available on a mystery website to be revealed on September 1 at 10 a.m. (which—wake up!—is this morning!) via Givenchy, NYCgo, the CFDA, and KCD's social media channels, can be registered for starting tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10 a.,. Oh, and it's free.

It's all VERY exciting, but once you have your hands on a Givenchy ticket, the big question is: Where do you SIT? Walking into that fashion show will be like walking into the lunchroom on the first day of school after your parents moved you to Uruguay because your dad thought it would be a fun adventure to live someplace where you know no one and can't speak a word of the language...BUT ON FASHION STEROIDS.

Do you sit with Kim and Kanye?

Hmm...Kim's doing the classic avoid-eye-contact move frequently used on The Greyhound and Amtrak when you want to discourage passengers from sitting in the (only!) open seat next to you which is currently occupied by your bag.

What about that empty spot next to Katy Perry and Kris Jenner?

Oh. She's saving it for North. Hmm...

Um. Jessica Chastain? Can we...?

Oh. No room? Gah. It's fine, we'll just stand over here...?

THE ANXIETY, RIGHT?

Well, luckily, fashion shows usually have assigned seating, so we likely won't have to worry about this—and, let's be serious, there will probably be an entire section reserved for the "real people" far, far away from Kim & co. But who knows?
